Sunny days require some bomb shades. Sofia Vergara loves her 19-34 Olive Sunglasses with Green Lens. And she can afford the $145 price tag. While we’d love to have a 1/1,000,000th of her fabulousness, our bank account is equally decimal. So… we found these fashionable affordable alternative aviator glasses. Ladies are all fierce and fabulous—even on days when we’re rockin’ yoga pants and our hair is in a bun. The warrior is always within. Well, put that warrior on display with the latest collab between Disney and Ruthie Davis—The Mulan Warrior Collection. This collection of footwear embodies the fearless, inner strength of the film's protagonist. "Mulan is my personal favorite Disney character because she is a warrior heroine with a strong sense of honor and spirit. I am inspired by her courage, perseverance and drive. She is a force to be reckoned with and this collection reflects that," said Ruthie Davis, founder. "These sporty, edgy styles armor up women to feel confident as they head out each day to fight for their beliefs and goals." We’ll be battling ourselves just trying to stand upright with the first two pairs. The boots and sneaks—we could rock those—if we had the cash. The lowest price shoe is $398. Our inner warrior just said she’d kick our ass if we dropped that kind of money, so… And we don’t mean the extra pounds. Those are beautifully earned since you incubated a human, you super mom! We’re talking the baby bag that you carry your baby’s stuff in. You could try to channel your inner Eva Longoria with this Riley Versa Oh Baby bag: If you want to drop $295! Couldn’t you spend that on something better, like diapers? We’re disappointed because we expected more bag for the buck. This thing is just, plain. And boring. Sure, some may say “chic”. But we’re not. Look how adorbs this is. And, it’s seven pieces for $37.50 on Amazon. Or, if you’re a chic chick—this: A little fancier. But still saving on the bucks. $38.99 on Amazon. Chic-ching! Maybe you got proposed to for Valentine’s Day. Congrats! Now it’s time to get into planning mode. So, how ‘bout that dress? Designer Madeline Gardner has the inside scoop on what’s trending for the bride in 2020. Seriously. She’s been crafting the most beautiful bridal gowns, prom, and Quinceanera dresses for more than 25 years. Oh—and she sketched Meghan Markle’s wedding gowns from the TV coverage, and had them produced and available within 10 days of the royal wedding. Gardner says to watch for: 1. Plunging Backs and Plunging v-necklines. 2. Whimsical Skirts. Fairytale weddings are very popular. 3. Ball Gowns! Think "Tara" large, whooshing and whirling or layers of soft tulle with flowing, layered skirts. 4. Super Wow, dramatic trains that tell a story. Remember Meghan Markle's veil featuring gorgeous, intricate embroidery specifically with the signature flowers from all of the countries in the British Commonwealth. Well, since then, brides have been eyeing sweep and fishtail to statement-making trains. Personalization and customization is happening where brides are adding touching details to the fabric of their wedding dress. 5. Beyond the Veil. Sophisticated, classic silhouettes are trending. Paired with lace-edged, long dramatic statement veils. Nostalgic or embellished, veils are available in different lengths, shapes and color. 6. Voluminous Puff sleeves. Dreamy. Romantic. Detachable. 7. Sexy, lingerie bodices. See-through ideal for beach and beachy weddings. Find these gorgeous gowns on Morilee’s website. Go get ‘em, girls. Enjoy your picture-perfect day—because it’s going to be no matter what! A white tee and jeans. The classic combo that transcends genders, ages. But we're gonna stop your fashion fantasy right there. Because this little white tee is just too damned expensive. The Cass Crop Tee from Splendid is $48. Forty-eight dollars? And there's less material? Nope. Get this instead. A soft cotton blend that's breathable, and only $5! Go get it! Like what you read here?

We’re feeling some bias here. We saw these cute maternity jeans with a soft stretch panel that sits comfortably under a baby bump and wondered: “Why couldn’t we wear these?” Seriously. We’re about five months preggo with a food baby. Doesn’t that count? We’re tired of low-rise and skinny jeans. We want sit-on-the-couch-eating-Fritos jeans. Perhaps a pair with a stretchy waist the sits just below the boob sag… Like what you read here?

We never got into mules—as in the footwear. Perhaps it’s because of the name. “Mule” sounds completely unattractive. Quite honestly, mules are not the most attractive footwear. But if mules are your thing, you can snag this pair of Bermuda Espadrille Mules by 4 Gold for $39.99. Not exciting. Mules don’t even look comfortable. Personally, we want to know when somebody famous is gonna slip into a pair of clogs. Because we’re dying to break out our vintage Steve Madden clogs. We used to take a lot of heat wearing these, though we think they’re cute and comfy. Where’s the clog equality? One day, we’ll have our moment to shine… P.S. The only mules we dig are Moscow… Like what you read here?

We appreciate causes. We appreciate jewelry with a cause. Nan Fusco has designed a unique spinning arrow ring to honor her daughter who’s been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. A spinning arrow through diamonds represents courage as one moves forward. When the arrow is turned, the word KOA is revealed. KOA is Hawaiian for “the strong, brave, and fearless” Or, “warrior”. For each ring sold, Nan Fusco is donating all profits to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PANCAN.) But, the price tag is hefty. $900 hefty. It is for a good cause…. Like what you read here?

Back-to-school is, well, back. If you’re a parent, you surely spent way too many frazzled hours getting supplies and clothing together. Why can’t you go back to school? At least when it comes to fashion… Sarto by Franco Sarto’s Duncan Loafer will remind your of school days. Some celebrity wore these loafers with dark denim jeans and some slutty top. Guess she was going for a “bad girl school girl look.” Priced at $104.99 you may need a “loafer daddy” to pay for these. Or you could go to our second home, DSW, and score this from Franco Sarto (you know, designs for commoners.) Like what you read here?

Why do ladies love maxi dresses? Because they’re comfy in the heat of summer; Because they’re cute; And because they hid a whole lot of lot. Some famous babe wore this Garnet Hill Linen Tank Maxi Dress in public. Cute. And we are a sucker for pockets. But, if we drop the $78 on this baby—we won’t have enough money for Hot Pockets. So after some research, we found this equally cute maxi dress from Popzora. Sure, there aren’t any pockets or stripes—but it looks kinda elegant to us. We can keep cool, and have some fab chic for a brief summer’s night. Plus, $34.69 is a good deal. And with a sale on Hot Pockets, we’re happy as a clam dressed in a sweet maxi dress… Like what you read here?
